White Beret

Taken all the way down to base materials, one White Beret is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Undyed Velveteen ×1, Undyed Woolen Cloth ×1, Woolen Yarn ×3 and 2 others — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 20 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 695 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 10 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Lightning Shard and 5 Wind Shard.

Every step is Weaver work, from a Lv 12 intermediate up to the Lv 42 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

1 of the 4 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Woolen Cloth has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
